Mike Brooks is a longtime Observer concert photographer who has shot seemingly every type of artist at every type of local venue. Here he breaks down five of his favorite concert photos. Five pictures, five stories. Or, 10 pounds of talent in a 5-pound bag. I’ve been lucky enough to...
If there's one thing all but the most fervent apologists for the Dallas Cowboys head coach can agree on, it's that Jason Garrett cost his team the game Sunday night against Minnesota. Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb did the best they could to save Garrett from himself, but...
Just going to be honest here: I’m fascinated by Waffle House for a variety of reasons. For example, FEMA’s Waffle House Index, which the agency uses to determine the level of assistance a community needs after a storm. Or the time on Parts Unknown when Anthony Bourdain said it was a...

Unless drastic action is taken, Dallas could see an average of 18 days per year by century's end in which heat index values climb so high they can't be calculated, a new report suggests. The study, which was released Tuesday by the Union of Concerned Scientists, sheds light on some...

Show me a silver lining, I will find you a cloud. From 2014 to last year, the Dallas public school system became a state leader and role model for its ability to turn around failing schools. That’s the silver lining. The cloud is what happened next. As soon as the...
In a few months, a bunch of testosterone-loving men will host a convention in Florida aimed at teaching women how to be great –– great wives, great mothers and great sexual objects. It’s called The 22 Convention: Make Women Great Again, and we can’t quite wrap our minds around it...
We must knock wood and throw salt over our shoulders. Don’t say anything to mess it up. But the Dallas public school system, already an unheralded center of innovation, may also be emerging as an unheralded beacon of stability. And the unheralded part — no New York Times stories, no 60 Minutes...

Last week's heat wave wasn't the beginning, but it wasn't the end, either. Dallas has seen sustained extreme heat before, notably in the summers of 1980 and 2011, but the city could see months of temperatures well above 100 degrees if Texas, the U.S. and the rest of the world...
